Just ordered a New TiVo

Our Series 2 Tivo will be three years old in September and I've been looking to upgrade since we got a HD TV nearly two years ago. This deal was just too good to pass up. Just over $500 (with tax) for a HD Tivo with LIFETIME Service. Fathers Day Offer - TiVo

Fiat 500 on Fast Track to America

While we were in Italy, Amy fell in love with the Fiat 500 and decided that she wanted one. Well, lucky for her, it's on its way to America!

The Fiat 500 is coming to America, and it appears to be on a fast track.

Richard Gadeselli, a Fiat spokesman at the automaker’s headquarters in Turin, Italy, sent an e-mail message to confirm plans to take the 500 — voted as Europe’s Car of the Year in 2008 — to Chrysler dealerships just in time for Christmas 2010. That’s barely 18 months away — just around the corner in auto development terms.

Ribbon Cutting at the Oakhurst Fire Station

It's also known (or more correctly known as) Decatur Fire Station No 2. This was taken by our friend, Julie Ryder at the ribbon cutting yesterday at 10:00am. It doesn't look like the equipment is moved in yet.

Congratulations Will!

Happy Blog Birthday

Today, Does the fun ever start? is five years old. It contains nearly 1200 posts. This was an experiment and I have enjoyed it.

I have read several times this month that blogs are dead, having given way to Twitter or Facebook or something else. This one is not dead. While I value Facebook, it does not provide the same forum for my thoughts as a blog.

Happy National Train Day

Congratulations Charles & Kim

My friend Charles from Austin just got married on Tuesday in Las Vegas. For the next few days, if you want, you can view their wedding online. Please let me know if you want information on how to do that.

This guy lives four or five blocks away and has converted his Honda ATV to be street legal. He installed racks, a trunk, lights, etc. I've seen him riding it a couple of times. Great way to go grocery shopping.

Auburn Men's Golf Coach Mike Griffin Leaving Coaching

Coach recruited Will and I've been around him several times over the past year. Coach, you will be missed. Good luck on your new job!

Auburn Men's Golf Coach Mike Griffin Leaving Coaching - AUBURN OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE: "Mike Griffin, who has served as the Auburn men's golf coach for the previous 25 seasons is stepping down from his coaching responsibilities and will remain with the program as the director of golf. A four-time Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, Griffin led the program to an SEC title in 2002 and eight SEC runner-up finishes, 16 NCAA Championship appearances and 19 NCAA Regional appearances.

'I have been here a long time and after looking at things through experienced eyes, I decided this is what was best for me and my family and for Auburn golf and the young people here,' Griffin said. 'When I was brought here, my purpose was to get a golf course, practice facility and team home built, and those have been completed.

'We've been very competitive, winning several tournament and individual titles, including SEC and Regional team and individual titles, and an NCAA individual title. The only thing we've not accomplished was winning a team title, however, what makes it better was having the opportunity to host an NCAA Championship.'"
